INTRODUCTION

As one of the foremost industries in Sri Lanka, the garment industry contributes significantly high

in the Sri Lankan economy by generating number of job opportunities locally. But unfortunately

most of the job seekers are not concerned about these opportunities and their entitled privileges

due to the misperceptions exists in the society about this industry. According to our previous

studies although thousands of job opportunities open annually in the garment sector, the labour

attraction is considerably very low.

The reasons which influenced to create such a background are due to the changes happened in the

macro as well the micro economic factors which are correlated with the industries. By considering

the macro economic factors the economic recession on which badly effected to the stability of the

European economies reasoned to diminish the demand for our garment products.

The shifting of the multinational companies who worked in the garment industry to lower labour

costed countries is also a badly effected micro economic factors.

However the garment industry is still one of the leading export income resources in Sri Lanka and

it gives the opportunity to it’s’ employees to earn highly.

By considering the above condition, this book is compiled with the purpose of make awareness

amongst the job seekers about the employments available in Garment industry.
